Jameson flexed his fist, veins bulging from his force. Feeling horrible, Josh kicked his feet and grabbed
Jameson's hands, which were wrapped around his neck.
Jameson jeered, "All it takes is some taunting for you to silence the two victims. Tsk, tsk. You're stupid
and gullible. So, what makes you think you could take me on?"
Josh's eyes wavered. He was overwhelmed by humiliation. "You're not that hopeless, though,

Sean was beyond elated upon hearing Gina's words.

refused to display her vulnerability to her mother and Xavier.
Xavier, worried about Maggie, surprisingly turned up at the police station. He waited patiently and
anxiously by the entrance. The policewomen who walked past him shot him weird looks, but Xavier,

She accepted the clean hanky, wanting to wipe away the tears but worried about dirtying it. So, she

where I am."
Her heart quickened when she looked up into his bright and brilliant eyes.
